HE CONCERT.

The Concert last Thursday night was
complete success. A large, refined and in
telligent audience was present. Our peo-
pie were anxious to hear the brilliant plan
iste, Miss Emma Hair, who recently return
ed from three years sojourn in Berlin.
The expectations of the audience were
great, but Miss Hair met these expectations
most credit4bly. 1t was generally conced-
ed that she is the most expert pianiste ever
in our city, and we doubt very capitally il
she can be excelled South or North Her
execution is faultless Quick of motion,
yet graceful in every particular Her man
ipulation OF the keys makes the sweetest
melody that piano is capable of produc-
ing, showing the highest culture. She car.
ried the audience by storm, and applause
after applause greeted each performance
A handsome basket of flowers was present
ed to her by Mr.. and Mrs. W. j. VIM.
1t is needless to say that Prot. Freyer
stirred the emotions of every lover of music
by his most captivating violin performan-
ces. He has no equal as a violinist and
the audience demonstrated its appreciation
by applause and recalls Mrs Legares ac-
compliments on the piano evidenced skill
and culture. The vocal renditions OF Mrs
j. C. Harris, Mrs. j. d. Buttolph, Mr.. g.
W. Benson, and Mr. Beckett were very fine
and charmed and pleased every nearer. The
success Of the first night, induced Prof Lee
care to announce the second performance
for Friday night, which was well attended
by all appreciative audience.

ACWORTH-

Cotton comes in quite rapidly. We
think this is the best crop made in this sec
ton since the war We have an abundance
OF sorghum, peas and corn, while the wheat
and oat crop was very good Every thing
almost that is cultivated this year seems to
have produced better than common and it
looks like we are on the road to prosperity.
Miss Maggie Burnett Of Zig Greek,
Tenn, has returned 10 Acworth to resume
her musical studies with Mrs. Stokeley-
and W. K. smiles as of old.
Our Literary club is in thriving con
dition now, with Mr.. John Collins, Presi.

OvERPOWERED BY GAS,
And Killed in a Well.

c. c. Winn, Esq, has well so or 60 feet
deep on his farm two miles North Of town.
The supply of water being inadequate, he,
hired two colored men, Alex McAiee and
Arch Crosby to blast the rock out of it.
They blasted and worked all day Wednes-
day of last week, and late in the evening
fred off two other blasts with a view OF
having no delay the next morning. Thurs
day morning they resumed work, Crosby.
alias Hendricks, going down into the we'll
Two buckets OF rock were drawn up when
Crosby hollered to McAfee to draw him up
as the gas was too strong for him. Crosby
got into the bucket and McAfee and others
began to draw him up When they had
him up about six feet from the bottom, he
fell out. He was still conscious and told
them to try it again The bucket was low
cred and he got one foot into it and caught
hold of the rope and when they had drawn
him up about six feet he fell out again, be-
ing overpowered by the gas. Great excite
ment prevailed and neighbors gathered and
the best methods to rescue him were dis
cussed. All appeared to be afraid to ven
ture down in the we'll Finally McAfee
said he would go down. He got in the
bucket and was carefully lowered and
when the bucket was in about six or eight
feet of the bottom he called to those above
to draw him out They did so and he was
very weak when he reached terra frma and
tottered and barely escaped falling back
into the well. A colored preacher, named
Barnes, also was lowered and he too had
to be drawn out before he reached the bot
tom. About this time, Josh, the we'll
known negro well-digger, came up full OIL
whisky and he said he would 40 down after
Crosby Some objected, but Others said
let him go, he has enough whisky in him
TO keep the gas from hurting him" So
they got large basket, attached the we'll
rope to it, tied Josh in the basket gave him
a rope and down he went He made the
trip successfully, tied the rope around the
dead man and gave the signal and he was
pulled up in an exhausted condition. Just
as he reached the top OF the well, the rope,
tied to the dead man, broke, and Mr. Chan
dler, man of Herealean strength. grabbed
hold of the corpse and thus, by the aid of
others, managed to get the body out. Ell
forts were being made to resusctate Crosby
when DR.. Tennen. arrived, but he told them
their efforts were futile as the man had been
Il
years old, aud has wife and two children
living in Roswell, to which place his re-
mains were carried for burial.

attention, ard my system was about
depleted by the fifteen years OF
rur ming of my face, hands and ank-
les, for in few years the disease
had spread to my neck, the backs
of my hands, the inside of my ank-
les and my insteps. 1 have put my
foot on the floor, after bathing it,
and the discharge from the ankle
and instep, would form a small pool
ia a few minutes.
The dis charge from the face and
neck was so copious. that [ have
often wet up a whole sheet in a
night, drying the face and neck.
In this condition for about fifteen
years, day in and day out, week in

lily to support, l had fifteen years of
my life absolutely thrown away,
while I sat helpless watching my
small competence dwindle before
my very eyes.
The doctors had ALI given me up,
when about two years ago, gentle
man who said he had been afflicted
in a way similar to my case, but in
mihder form, told me that s. 5. s.
had cured him, and he urged me
strongly to take it. 1 followed his
suggestion, and began a course of
S. S. S. The first few bottles
seemed to intensity the disease and
alarmed, I left off the medicine.
Later l determined to continue S.
S. s.; and under the medicines
influence boils broke out on my
face and neck, and through them
passed off that discharge. 1 took
twenty bottles Of Swift's Specific,
and when 1 got through the disease
was entirely gone.

wonderful change from these sleep

pain, the cure seems greater than

Roadmaster Horton, who was in a bunk in the caboose at the time, was hurled violently the full length of the caboose and seriously injured. Two other train men were also bruised and hurt by being thrown by the concussion, but, strange to say, no one seriously. The express engine was a total wreck.

TIE Flagstaff Champion of the 24th instant has the following par ticulars of a murder in that town :: On Sunday morning last the peo- pie of this town were mortified to hear of a dreadful murder that had been committed during the night by Martin Duran who shot and kill ed a woman named Reyes Baca with whom he had been living. It seemed that the parties had had
 some quarrel, Duran being jealous of the attentions the girl was re- ceiving from some other man. On Saturday evening, about midnight, Duran with several other Mexicans went to the house where the girl resided, a little north of town, talk ing with them a guitar and some whiskey for the purpose of having good time, After reaching the house they proceeded to enjoy themselves in their fashion and about ? o'clock Duran crossed the room to a table and commenced writing in a memorandum book and shortly after, without giving any notice of his intention, or having any quarrel with the girl, he arose from his seat and walking over to- ward where she was sitting drew a

pistol, and when within once pace of her, sent ball crashing through her brain. He then fired two more shots, both of which took effect, before any of those present could interfere. The unfortunate woman was killed instantly. The murder CT then walked down to town, but made no effort to escape and was arrested by Constable Donahue as he was standing on Railroad avenue soon after day-break. He was ta- ken before Justice of the Peace Brothers and committed to Prescott jail, to answer before the district court for his crime.
